Bad deal to mess with America's symbols!

[DarthVader]

Have you purchase a colored coin from those good for nothing infomercials? Then read on:
The U.S. Mint does not encourage or support products that alter the fundamental images on its coins. A superimposed design is entirely different than the coin's original image and almost obliterates the coin's organic design. Altering U.S. Mint coins this way may heighten the concerns of people who regard the images and designs on our Nation's coinage as sacrosanct. Indeed, Congress itself mandates by statute the themes, images, and inscriptions that appear on a particular coin. In most cases, businesses are using American Eagle silver bullion coins that Congress directed the U.S. Mint to produce with the requirement that the coin "have a design . . . symbolic of Liberty on the obverse side."

Please respect our symbols, they are recognised around the world and supporting this sellers holds no respect to our laws...

(PO'ff at this time.)

whats next??? An american flag with a corporate logo? or a the Ronco guy on it?
how about the wonder mop in a small corner.

Our land, flag, coins, they are all a part of us, I do not support any company that mutilates or alters our image. Im with you!

God Bless America!

It's the laws in America that allows this type of thing.

and the enforcement of such laws...

There will always be people who take advantage of anything...

Isn't that what America says she is all about..

Freedom?

BTW, doesn't painting on them reduce the value of the coin as a collectors item? It is better to have mint uncirculated coins for your collection. Ask my dad. He collects.

You guys are joking aren't you. It used to be a big thing to put holes in them to hang on a chain. Nobody complained about that. Or putting the pennies in the machines at the zoo that flatten them and put a design on them. Or is it that those are just pennies. Nobody is doing this to disrespect anything. If someone wants one of these coins with the color. Great Let them have it. they are just waisting their money in my opinion. But isn't this the freedom this country is always yelling about. It is in the other countries without the freedom where doing that could put you in jail. Where do you want to be?????

oh oh... an argument in favor of freedom. not a good idea around here.
